Directions:

Mix together turkey, cheese and chilies; set aside. In a different bowl,
mix together flour, cornmeal and salt. Cut in butter until particles are
the size of small peas (a pastry blender makes this an easy job). Sprinkle
with water and mix with pastry blender or fork until pastry can be formed
into a ball. Add a little more water if necessary. Divide dough into
balls, one ball for each two servings; divide turkey mixture into same
number as dough. Turn one dough ball onto floured board and roll into an
11" square. Place on oiled cookie sheet. Spoon one part of turkey mixture
over 1/2 of pastry, coming to 1 1/2" of the edge. Fold other half of pastry
over it, and crimp edges to seal them. Repeat this procedure with each ball
of dough. Brush turnovers with milk. Sprinkle remaining corn meal on top.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool
slightly; slice into wedges to serve.
